                        TRIBUTE TO DALE W. MOORE

 Mr. MORAN. Mr. President, I would like to recognize Dale W. 
Moore for dedicating more than 40 years of his professional life to 
being a champion for agriculture in the public and private sector.
  For the past 10 years, Dale has served farmers and ranchers as a 
leader at the American Farm Bureau Federation, first as executive 
director, public policy, then vice president, public affairs, and 
finally spending the past 4 years of his career serving as the 
executive vice president.
  Dale served as chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture 
under four Secretaries of Agriculture, served as legislative director 
for the House Agriculture Committee, and as a legislative assistant for 
then-Representative Pat Roberts, who represented the ``Big First'' 
district of Kansas.
  Dale's Kansas roots run deep. He is a native of Copeland, KS, with a 
population of approximately 250 people. Dale grew up on a livestock, 
hay, and grain farm, where he learned firsthand the intricacies of 
agriculture, the value of hard work, and fostered an appreciation of 
rural America that he carried with him throughout his entire career.
  Dale received a bachelor of science in animal science and biology 
from Fort Hays State University, located in Hays, KS, where he 
participated in activities such as Rodeo Club, Block and Bridle Club, 
and Delta Tau Alpha.
  In all of his roles throughout his illustrious career, Dale earned a 
reputation that continues with him today as a mentor, problem solver, 
counselor, and storyteller whose commitment sets a shining example for 
policymakers across the political spectrum. Dale has not only been an 
advocate for farmers and ranchers, but has contributed to the strength 
of American farm and ranch families, serving as a trusted friend and 
advisor to many.
  On behalf of this body, the U.S. Senate, it my honor to recognize and 
thank Dale W. Moore for his dedication to agriculture and service to 
the American Farm Bureau Federation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 
and Congress and to congratulate him on his retirement.
